Home Remedies for Jock Itch

Wear clean and light underwear

Wear clean, breathable underwear. Choose light cotton boxers [3] when getting underwear so your groin does not trap excess moisture. Good hygiene is just as important as getting the right boxers. You should make sure you do not wear the same boxer for more than one day without washing it or you risk creating a conducive environment for fungi growth.

Over-the-counter medications

Natural remedies are not always as effective as they should be. If you have tried them and seen no results or your condition worsens, you should consider purchasing antifungals from your local pharmacy or online stores. These medicines are effective in treating most cases of tinea cruris.

Over-the-counter antifungals are available as creams you can apply over the affected skin. Go for antifungals containing active ingredients like terbinafine [4].
